Forecasts

Canny Style (6/4), Heartasia (5/2), Simone (10/3), Boogie Life (8/1), Speedbird One (16/1), Whiteoak Stroller (20/1), Carta Blanca (50/1)

You can make a case for a few of these, and deciding between them isn't that easy. HEARTASIA looked a filly of some promise when taking two bumpers - never an easy thing to do - in the summer and if fit, could be the one to beat. Canny Style holds an obvious chance after her excellent debut effort and should be thereabouts. Simone and Whiteoak Stroller will both do better too.
